[Verse 1: Sadistik]
Pretty little zodiac
Tell me are you listening?
Why don't you say hello back
When the ghosts are visiting?
Living in the sediment
Scribbling my sentimental
Mental into wet cement
Everything I said I meant
Not living in the present
Skies are growing heavy
I feel like a piñata when it's empty
I’ll fill another bottle I'm a MD
20/20 hindsight
In a place that's full of people I don't quite like, ayy
Looking out the glass again
Aspirations aspirate
Compliments are aspartame
Tears feel like they're acid rain
Always been a castaway
Don't save me I'm just trash today
I'm refuse
Usually you're bruised when you get used to feeling used
All these ups and downs I learned to ride the waves
Most the nightmares are when I'm wide awake
I don't wanna go don't let me die today
If it makes me numb I'll take the side effects

[Verse 2: Mick Jenkins]
If it makes me numb I'll take the side effects
If it makes me...
If it gets me pissed off puff smoke
So much talking out the neck nigga we cut-throat now
Not what you would expect
Fuck your assuming we just added the seasonings
Told 'em hoe don't be cumin when the thyme right
Lime-light in my eye I don't need that
Cash when I require best believe that
In hindsight was just getting by
'Til I was 25 I'm coming live
Oh did I mention I beat statistics?
Made the fire with the friction
My diction sophisticated no fiction has been recited
The credit for a belated, shit is Kris Kross
No jokes the politicking make my dick soft put it in quotes now
Fuck up out your respect
See how I'm moving niggas low-key
It's hard to stay quiet with the OG on me
Only a couple niggas I call homies these days
Said some prayers that got the phonies erased
If we ain't FaceTiming then you ain't really know me these days
Not too much talking do my growing silent

Sadistik

Sadistik has been described as “showing his scars with each song he writes” and “the cigarette burn rap king”. Sadistik has been closely associated with the late underground hip hop pioneer Eyedea and has been known for “a unique style of hip hop, one that features dark imagery, dense wordplay, and nontraditional production”.

During a livestream meetup with his Patreon followers, Sadistik said of his

I always get asked why my name is Sadistik in interviews. Part of me always wants to be like Harmony Korine the director and just lie every time – just make up a completely elaborate story each time I get asked that then nobody really knows the answer. See how I totally prevaricated and didn’t tell you?! I named myself when I was like 14 so even if I did have a reason it was probably stupid. I don’t think I had any good reasons at 14.
